Mint

Mint.com is a free web-based personal financial management service for the US and Canada created by entrepreneur Aaron Patzer. Mint originally provided account aggregation through a deal with Yodlee, but has since moved to using Intuit for connecting to accounts. Mint's primary service allows users to track bank, credit card, investment, and loan transactions and balances through a single user interface. Users can also make budgets and goals, like saving $1000. Users also have the option to manually enter cash or check transactions.

Mint has garnered media coverage from a number of blogs and media outlets such as the New York Times, GigaOM, VentureBeat, the Orlando Sentinel, and the San Francisco Chronicle.

The company is located in Mountain View, California. Mint currently only supports financial institutions based in the United States and Canada.

On November 2, 2009, Intuit, the makers of Quicken and TurboTax, completed acquisition of Mint.com.
